A big fourth quarter couldn’t offset an ugly first quarter as the Denver Broncos fell to the Atlanta Falcons 27-21 on Monday Night Football last night in Atlanta. The Broncos turned the ball over four times in the opening 15 minutes, including three interceptions by Peyton Manning. The Falcons were able to build a 13-0 lead and led 20-7 at the half. After Atlanta went ahead 27-7 in the third, Manning and the Broncos found an offensive rhythm in the final quarter. Willis McGahee rushed for two touchdowns, the second with 3:25 to play, to make things interesting, but the Falcons got a pair of first downs and ran out the clock. Manning threw for 241 yards and a touchdown to go with the three picks. McGahee rushed for 113 yards on the night. The Broncos return home next Sunday to host the unbeaten Houston Texans.
